scipy.fftpack.ifft

scipy.fftpack.ifft(x, n=None, axis=-1, overwrite_x=0)

Return discrete inverse Fourier transform of real or complex sequence.

The returned complex array contains y(0), y(1),..., y(n-1) where

y(j) = (x * exp(2*pi*sqrt(-1)*j*np.arange(n)/n)).mean().

Parameters :

x : array_like

Transformed data to invert.

n : int, optional

Length of the inverse Fourier transform. If n < x.shape[axis], x is truncated. If n > x.shape[axis], x is zero-padded. The default results in n = x.shape[axis].

axis : int, optional

Axis along which the ifft’s are computed; the default is over the last axis (i.e., axis=-1).

overwrite_x : bool, optional

If True the contents of x can be destroyed; the default is False.
